The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Just like how we stay physically fit by lifting weights and going for runs, our brains also benefit from exercise. In a new study, researchers explored a novel method called cognitive training with neurofeedback to enhance the cognitive abilities of seniors with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). They used a technique called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) […]
Understanding the decisions made by deep neural networks is like examining the thought process behind a magic trick. In this study, researchers aimed to uncover the inner workings of these networks by investigating and interpreting their outputs. They focused on analyzing how perturbations in the training dataset affected the model’s predictions. By calculating influence scores […]
Just like a dedicated marathon runner who never gives up, humans seem to have a similar mindset when it comes to foraging strategies. While animals are known to adapt their foraging techniques based on the environment, humans tend to stick to one strategy regardless of the circumstances. This study explores why humans display this steadfast […]
